-Probiotic supplement

-Yogurt-plain is best, I usually mash a little banana in it for some flavor

-GSE(grapefruitseed extract) is a great yeast killer and safe while nursing. You can get it at health food stores. It is very bitter though and is recommended to put it in juice or water. I always get the empty "0" capsules and put the dosage in those and take with a glass of water instead of drinking it in the water itself.
